Why Sacrifice Dana Air? by villa290: 9:30am On Nov 06, 2013 |
WHY SACRIFICE DANA AIR? The Nigerian aviation industry is befuddled with grim inefficiency and corruption at this moment and Nigerians look up to the President and the National Assembly to cause a far reaching audit of the sector to stave off further wanton waste of air travelers. While at that, one wonders the crime of DANA Air that has made this young but very efficient airline the sacrificial lamb in the aviation sector. The airline, which has become the preferred airline of most Nigerians for its relatively younger fleet, efficient timing and logistics has been under the hammer for over a month now supposedly for the reason of an impending official audit. I do not contest the right of the NCAA to audit the airlines and their processes from time to time as provided under its statutory powers but suspending the right to fly and do business of an airline almost indefinitely for no just cause or threat smacks of malice, unfairness to business, anti-investment and illegal. The financial cost of keeping a fleet of aircrafts on the ground is substantial particularly when the airline has not been found wanting in any way. Is there no way a particular suspect aircraft can be grounded rather than ground the whole fleet of an airline? Would the UK CAA ground the whole fleet of Virgin Airline for instance even if one of their aircraft is involved (God forbid) in an aviation incident? Remember though that there are thousands of Nigerian in the employ of Dana air and it is only reasonable to deduct that these Nigerians will also be suffering from this mindless disruption of the airline’s business. The call for foreign investment will be meaningless if we cannot even afford the existing local businesses a level playing field, fairness and justice. Let Dana be and abate this wasteful and unjustifiable suspension.
